Chapter 109 The Shield Concubine 49
Chapter 109 The Shield Concubine 49
It is really a beautiful sight to see a beautiful woman sleeping soundly.
Xu Huaiqian knew that he should leave, but he couldn't help but bend down and pick up the books for her.
When he picked up the book and glanced at the words on it, his breathing became disordered and his whole body stiffened.
Azhi is not reading a serious book.
The book just happened to be about a rich lady and a scholar, the two of them were making love without knowing what was going on.
It was just a small thing for Azhi, but Xu Huaiqian had never been interested in women and did not understand love.
Now, looking at the love affairs described in the book, her cheeks flushed, her Adam's apple twitched, and she was ready to return the book to Ah Zhi with an evasive look in her eyes.
Just as he was in a panic, Azhi on the chaise longue groaned and opened her eyes in a daze.
When he saw a tall figure in front of him, Azhi subconsciously thought it was Chen Yue.
She stretched out her little hand and grabbed the other person's clothes, not yet awake from her sleepiness.
"Don't leave. Stay here with me."
The voice was soft and tender with a coquettish tone, as if soaking your ears in honey.
But Xu Huaiqian knew clearly that the other party was not acting coquettishly towards him. As for the person who should be acted coquettishly towards, it should be Fu Rong.
He looked at the fair little hands pulling at the corner of his clothes, and his heart softened for a moment, and he didn't even dare to breathe.
Probably because I didn't get the response I wanted.
Ah Zhi's voice was lingering with impatience.
"Why don't you say anything? I've been waiting for you here for a long time, how annoying."
How dare I speak?
Xu Huaiqian was just about to prove his identity when the other party had already opened his eyes.
"what!"
Azhi's sleepiness immediately disappeared, and she stared at Xu Huaiqian with surprise.
He propped himself up and stared at Xu Huaiqian, subconsciously raising his voice and asking, "Master Xu? Why are you in the palace?"
Suddenly she saw the book in the other person's hand, and the surprise on her face turned into shame and anger.
Before Xu Huaiqian could come to his senses, Azhi fell backwards and hugged the quilt tightly.
But the blush on her face had not faded, and she looked indescribably shy.
"Master Xu, this is the harem, how can you wander around in the palace?"
Thinking of the contents of the books she had read, Ah Zhi bit her lower lip, not knowing what to do.
I don’t know if the other party has seen the contents.
Looking at Ahzhi sitting helplessly on the chaise longue, inadvertently revealing her lotus-like jade fingers, it made people imagine a lot, and they couldn't help but think of the content in the book just now.
The rich young lady stayed in seclusion, burning incense and praying with her mother.
It was raining and they met a scholar. They fell in love at first sight and decided to spend their lives together. Their love was so deep that they could hardly control themselves.
The scenes in the book seemed to appear before my eyes, and I was like the scholar who met the young lady, coveting the delicate and beautiful young lady in front of me.
But Xu Huaiqian still suppressed the desire in his heart.
He smiled softly at Ah Zhi, "My Lady, the weather is cold now, you should take care of yourself."
Only then did Azhi realize that his feet were accidentally exposed in the air.
She retracted her feet with an angry look on her face, gritted her teeth and yelled at Xu Huaiqian.
"How dare you, Xu Huaiqian, who told you to look around?"
I know clearly that my behavior just now was inappropriate.
Xu Huaiqian had already retracted his gaze and hurriedly knelt on the ground, raising the book above his head.
"My lady, I am just passing by."
But Ah Zhi simply couldn't listen. She immediately snatched the book from the other person's hand and slammed it hard into his arms, her sweet voice filled with anger and shame.
"Get lost. I'm giving you this book as a reward. Xu Huaiqian, take the book and get lost quickly."
The other party's tone was full of disgust and dissatisfaction.
But Xu Huaiqian didn't feel angry at all.
He somehow held the books in his arms.
"Yes, I will retire."
Looking at Xu Huaiqian's back, Azhi slapped the chaise longue hard.
At this moment Qingzhu came back, holding a bouquet of plum blossoms.
"My lady, are you awake?"
Ah Zhi looked at Qing Zhu and asked, "Where did you go just now?"
Faced with Azhi's questioning, Qingzhu panicked and knelt on the ground.
"My lady, I just went to pick flowers. Didn't you want to arrange them in the palace?"
Seeing Qingzhu's innocent look, Azhi did not choose to expose him.
"What about the rest?"
"Sister Cuizhu has gone back. Eunuch Chen has sent you some good things, and she has to go back to watch over the sorting and storage."
"The other palace maids and eunuchs are cleaning outside. I asked them to make tea for you. They are waiting for you to wake up and drink it."
It is really well organized and it is very picky and there is no mistake.
It is not a glorious thing to have met a man outside of your home.
Azhi did not mention Xu Huaiqian to Qingzhu.
He just waved his hands impatiently.
"Alright, I don't want to wait any longer. Prepare the sedan chair. I want to go back to the palace."
Having completed his mission, Qingzhu arranged the sedan chair without delay.
Seeing that Azhi had actually come back, Cuizhu hurriedly went forward and wanted to support Azhi.
But the next second, the other party dodged it.
"Miss?"
I didn't expect that Azhi was unwilling to pay attention to me.
Cuizhu couldn't help but ask, "What happened to your majesty? Why do you look so unhappy?"
At this time, the palace maid came in with tea, and Cuizhu took the teacup and handed it to Azhi.
Seeing Cuizhu's clueless look, Ahzhi realized that he was taking his anger out on others.
After all, Cuizhu is not to blame for this matter.
If Cuizhu had been guarding outside the pavilion at that time, she might not have met Xu Huaiqian.
Ah Zhi took a deep breath and kneaded her handkerchief, then looked at the other palace maids and eunuchs waiting in the room.
Cuizhu understood what she meant and immediately put down the teacup and asked the palace maids and eunuchs to leave.
"You can all leave now. I will serve the Queen in the palace."
"Yes."
The others have already left.
Ah Zhi frowned and complained, "I accidentally fell asleep in the pavilion, and I didn't expect Xu Huaiqian to barge in. Although he didn't offend me."
"But if what happened today gets out, will my reputation be ruined?"
I heard Xu Huaiqian appear in the pavilion in the Plum Garden.
Cuizhu frowned with a look of confusion on her face.
You have to know that Azhi is the emperor's concubine, and according to palace rules she is not allowed to meet other men privately.
Even though the other party was Empress Dowager Xu's nephew, Fu Rong still forced him to live in the palace.
If this kind of thing gets out, it will only affect Ah Zhi's reputation and easily become a handle for others to deal with Ah Zhi.
"My lady, this is my fault. Please calm down."
"What does it have to do with you?"
Ah Zhi looked at the tea leaves floating in the teacup.
"It was just a momentary mistake. As long as you and I are prepared and don't let anyone with ulterior motives find out, this matter can be forgotten."
Qingzhu knew exactly who he belonged to.
But I didn't expect that the other party had been hiding for so long, which really surprised Azhi.
She had a general idea of what Chen Yue's plan was.
It's nothing more than getting herself pregnant.
As long as she gave birth to the eldest prince, Chen Yue could fight for him.
The other party cares so much about me, I can't let Chen Yue down.
